MBMorley Posted October 20, 2009 Share #1 Posted October 20, 2009 Hey guys, I see where somebody started a thread on here for showing off your impressions which is a great idea but I want to get more specific!! Let's see your World War II U.S. Marine Corps and Navy Corpsman Combat and Dress Impressions. I'll post a number of photos from the Saipan event we had on my parent's property about two years ago. Here is a group shot of some of us . . . I'm 2nd from the left with the 28 Thompson holding the flag. Hope everyone enjoys and I look forward to see other's impressions!!

Armed 2 tha Teeth Posted October 21, 2009 Share #24 Posted October 21, 2009 I guess on the subject on weapon correctness for an early war 4th Marines impression the 1928a1 Thompson should have a Lyman sight as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortworthgal Posted October 22, 2009 Share #25 Posted October 22, 2009 Well, it appears that several shots of my husband in his USMC impression have already made it into this thread! I don't have any photos of me in USMCWR... yet. I just finished out my seersuckers and am working on the service greens. Here is one of us last year at a dinner/dance - he has made many improvements to this uniform since the photo was taken, but sadly I don't seem to have any newer photos so this will have to suffice. I'm dressed as Navy WAVES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
